About the book

Whether you’re an experienced
rider or a novice, you’ll have more
fun riding your bike if you can
count on it not to break down — and
can fix it if it does. That’s what
this book will help you achieve. In
very simple terms, with clear
illustrations, it explains the most
common maintenance and repair jobs
for any kind of bike, including
E-bikes and other special machines. The procedures
are presented in a step-by-step
format, and the illustrations cover
every aspect of the work. The book’s
handy format makes it as useful to
take along as it is in the home
workshop.
